Abstract

This study mainly focused on horror movies and horror games. Camera angles of horror movies and compositions of horror games are main factors that can cause fear in people's minds. Through analyzing four kinds of factors, including sensual, expectant, restrictive and executive fear elements, in horror games, and combining with the patterns of camera angles and film techniques that Alfred Hitchcock applied in his horror movies, this research investigated certain types of compositions and concluded ones that were more effective on growing fear in players' minds and enhancing their involvement. In conclusion, only the combination of factors in horror-game compositions, like diagonal composition, dual-diagonal composition and inverse triangle-line composition, with visual elements enables player's growing sense of fear and the increase in involvement. Therefore, future works should apply more of these fear-inducing compositions.

본 연구는 공포 장르 중에서 영화와 게임의 요소 측면에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 공포 영화의 카메라 앵글과 공포 게임의 구도는 사람에게 공포심을 유발할 주요한 요인이다. 본 연구는 4가지 공포요소(감각적 공포요소, 기대적 공포요소, 제한적 공포요소, 수행적 공포요소)를 분석하여 구도와 카메라 앵글의 패턴과 결합해서 분석하였다. 알플레드 히치콕 감독의 영화에 적용한 기법과 게임 구도의 구성 형태는 어떻게 상호 적용되는지 연구하였다. 결론적으로, 플레이어에게 공포심과 물입도를 더 증가시키는 구도를 제시했다. 즉 대각선 구도, 양대각선 구도, 역삼각 구도는 시각적인 요소와 같이 사용한다면 플레이어에게 물입도와 공포심을 유발할 수 있다. 향후 게임을 제작할 때 플레이어에게 공포감을 향상시킬 수 있는 구도를 제시하고자 하고 게임을 디자인할 때 공포감과 물입도를 증가시키는 구도를 활용할 것이다.
